SMINTON,S PROTEST.
A Warm Reply to Georges Article on thu
McGlynn Case.

A Warm Reply to Georges Article on the
McGlynn Case.
New YORK, January l3.-The article by
Henry George on the McGlynn case,
which was published in the last issue OF
his paper, seems likely to cause some
trouble i'm the labor ranks. In the next
issue of John SWintOR' Paper, will appear
the following article headed, "A Protest"
I'VE protest most energetically against
the recent attempt to drag religious contro-
versy into the arena of labor. Nothing
could be more disastrous to the great
movement now in progress for the eleva-
tiOn of the working classes, and IN which
men of every race and creed, as well rs
men without creed, are beginning To
take part. The work has been prose
cuted hitherto without trenching upon
any mans conscience, and thus only can it
he carried to success, clearing the way as
we advance and overcoming the stumbling
clocks as they are met. We have dread
ed all along that the enemy would precip-
itate some ecclesiastical obstacle across our
lines. behind which our forces would fall
to fighting each other, thus coniounding
the forward march aud blasting the
glorious hopes which have been nursed
and guarded with so much care. Woe be
tide the man who serves the enemy'S pur-
poses by raising distractions that must
prove fatal to the unity OF organized labor.
Better, infinitely better, were it that good
Father McGlynn had never left his altar
than that he should he used as an agent
for precipitating the obstacle upon when
our united ranks are to be broken IN the
warfare against social and industrial
wronps -

The dead body of Nelson Borden was found
yesterday in a clump of bushes. Three
years ago Borden killed John Letcher dur
ing a quarrel. Letcher's son, Abner, then
II years old, told his mother and Others

The Organization Booming In this City
Fifty Members Taken in Last Night.

tive Association met at the room of the

A Republican Senator to be Arrested for
Bribery.
INDIANAPOLIS, January l5.-The argu-
ment on A. G.. Smiths application for an
Injunction against Lieutenant Governor
Robertson was concluded this morning
by Judge Turpic, who appeared for
smith. Judge Ayres will give his de-
cision Monday morning and there from
either side will at once appeal to the Su-
preme Court. 1t may be that decision
will he handed down from that bench
Tuesday morning, but the indications are
that the Democrats will consummate their
plan for a joint convention of their own to
choose United States Senator. The Repub-
licans in this event will meet in the House
of Representatives and elect rs Senator
BENJAMIN Harrison, while the Democrats
will choose Judg David Thrpie. On nadvice
of Senator Voorhees, it is not probable that
more tAan one contest will lie pushed in
the Senate and that it is thought will be
deferred until after the jOiut convention.
The Senator to be unseated is w. n. Nc
Donald, Republican, who is charged with
bribery in procuring votes. This Is the
Democratic plan, whether the Republicans
in the House unseat any more Democrats
